Couple months ago I got a real nice used Phillippi cue with 2 shafts. Both shafts have unknown layered tips. One tip was pretty tall and dime shaped,the other half worn and nickel shaped. The larger tip was dime shaped so I cut a bit of and reshaped it with sand paper and used a Willards tip...

A friend of mine was recently on the east coast and visited a legendary cue maker he knows. He said that the cue maker had a cue loaded with Ivory for a collector in Japan. I asked how was he going to get that cue by customs and he said that it would be sent Fedex and there would be no problem...

I have cue with a very light color linen and keeping it clean is a hassle. After I clean it what do I use to seal it? I would really like to spray it with a rattle can or?

I've been playing a guy 8-6 and beating him really bad. We adjusted to 9-6 and Friday I won 6 games,what now? 10-6 or 9-6 and the break? We are senior friends and only play for $5 a game but still I want him to have a chance.

A guy at the pool room got this cue from a deceased friend family. Who made It ? Approx. age? Approx value? It's in great shape.

They had a good turn out for the event. That's all I know as I was on the other side of the room playing on the adult size tables.

I have a chance to buy a Phillippi cue that I did not take a pic of. But it has 4 solid ebony points into maple with a really nice textured leather wrap,no rings or bling.

I was reading the thread "how I got my nickname" And thought I would post some nicknames from years ago in a New Jersey pool room. Mental Mike-he was a little off upstairs. Guitar Bobby-he played the guitar. Neptune Joe Frady-he was from Neptune N.J. Choo choo Larry-a train engineer. One eyed...

Is it possible to put a clear coat over linen at home with no lath? Tape off the wood and spray with a rattle can? I'm so tired of cleaning the blue chalk off my wrap.

Yesterday I'm playing my usual one pocket foe and we always battle pretty even. I won 5 straight games and he quit saying" I gave you all those games". I said" I thought I played good enough to take them from you" I did play quite well. Sour grapes on his part? Last week I came out 2 games down...
